Peter, because your car was running ok before your breakdown and the points gap moving being the fault I think it is something simple that has been overlooked and the more parts you replace the harder it is to locate what's wrong. I would start from scratch again first with re checking your points ( see if you have assembled them together correctly) and doing that bulb check. Check the rotor arm is correctly on the drive and that the button in the dizzy cap will make contact with the rotor when fitted. Finally take a plug out re connect the lead and lay it on the engine block where it will make contact to earth. With ignition switched on turn the engine over a few times to see if ther is any spark (this can be seen easier in the dark). If no spark work backwards towards the dizzy and coil.
One other thing you might wish to check is your engine to body earth good. Remember plugs rely on a good earth tocomplete the circuit.
